ADK for Windows 11 and ADK for Windows Server 2022: VAMT does not work anymore
- Hi
After half internet read, I was able to correct this error with the instruction on
https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/oypsd8/vamt_database_not_a_valid_vamt_database/
You have to run the command in the VAMT database.
alter table base.GenuineStatusText alter column GenuineStatusText nvarchar(255) NULL
The design decision is intentional to not update any on premises inbox tools in Windows Server.
Example: Server Manager will not have filtering options for 2019 or 2022, even though it is a PowerShell oneliner, very unfortunately.
Print Management console is still missing in context menu in Server Manager,
File Explorer will still miss the VSS config on ReFS volumes on context menu in Explorer. All dev energy flowing into Windows Admin Center.
I hoped that some low hanging fruit regression could have been fixed, and could be still fixed with a CU without breaking anything else.
Mary Hoffman on the topic do you have any news for an ETA on this VAMT fix? The workaround seems to work, but as I do not understand the DB structure cannot tell if this could be done in a new ADK version or something else needs to be changed.
if you have the time I would of course appreciate some BI Reports for the other mentioned feature requests and fixed brought up in Insider Dev and repeated here offtopic to Alban.
Windows Admin Center is promising but still missing key features from numerous MMC. I do not expect this tool to be able to replace all other management tools until a few years at least (if ever).
- I bet for 5 years. And that can be frustrating as neither the old not nor the new Tools are complete or working as intended anymore.
